This is my pick of the week. CardMunch. I have to admit as I am on the beach in Jamaica I have not yet tested it fully but if it does what it says on the tin it could be the answer to that large pile of business cards! No disclosure required.

Best regards and happy 50th!

Official Google Webmaster Central Blog – We'd like to highlight three best practices that address some of the most common problems found when crawling and indexing video content.

You'll also need a soldering iron as well as a few other basic tools to get behind your dashboard and to mold the panel to your liking.

Tweet Archives to Find Home at Library of Congress – Most of the information you find in the Library of Congress is a bit more substantial than: “Saw Jimmy at the mall. He winked. OMG!! LOLOLOL!!!” But now the Library of Congress is going to have plenty of vapid, meaningless content. Both Twitter and the LOC announced today that the entire catalog of Twitter archives is going to be digitally stored at the national library. Every single tweet since the beginning (March 2006) will be there.
Each Facebook Fan Is Worth $3.60 Annually – Social media marketing platform company Vitrue has determined that the average value of a Facebook ‘fan’ is about $3.60 in equivalent media each year.

Is Social Media Becoming Boring? » Techipedia | Tamar Weinberg – For most, social media is new and fun. For others, though, social media is old and is falling out of favor. I’m seeing it happen of users who were happy about social media when it became hyped but are now realizing that they’re not yet ready to hold onto social media any longer. It’s boring, too challenging, and uninteresting. Catering to individuals seems to mean you need to bend to their will at every turn. Nobody wants to have to to a minority that seems to be unhappy with the content you’ve spent hours upon hours writing.
7 Truths About Social Media Marketing » Techipedia | Tamar Weinberg – But despite the vastness of opportunities that social media affords, it’s just one channel in a series of many. We should still tackle some realities about social media marketing before you get too excited about its potential.
Why Banning Social Media Often Backfires – Humans have a natural proclivity to want what they cannot have. Our insatiable appetite for sharing information, combined with the nearly limitless ways to access the web have thus far frustrated the most sophisticated attempts to block access to social media services.
Analytic.ly Provides Real-Time and Historical Twitter Analysis – For brands, developers and curious users, PeopleBrowsr is rolling out an interesting new tool.

History Channel Launches Foursquare Campaign and a New Badge – America might be one of the youngest geopolitical nations around, but we’ve still got some interesting history to discover. Thanks to a partnership between Foursquare and the History Channel, some of the app’s users will get to learn a lot more about the history of their checkin locations over the next couple months.
The Streamy Awards: How to Unwreck the Car [OPINION] – In the small world of made-for-the-web TV, industry figures and fans alike hoped that the 2010 Streamy Awards would prove to mainstream audiences that made-for-the-web television is the next big thing — an industry of serious artists, fine entertainment and ultimately, booming profits. After a crowd of professionals in suits and lavish dresses took their seats, it started with a Broadway-style musical number. That’s as high as Icarus flew before his wings melted off.

Video: The iPad Can Also Run Windows 95 (Or Maybe Not) – I am not sure why you would want to ruin a perfectly good iPad by running Windows 95 on it, but the video above from Pavel Egorkin, a Russian social gaming developer, appears to show just such a hack. Impressive since the iPad jailbreak has yet to be released. Or maybe fake. You be the judge.
Alfred Lin To Leave Zappos, Join Sequoia Capital – Alfred Lin, the COO/CFO of Zappos, has left the company and will join Sequoia Capital. Lin was the no. 2 executive at Zappos at the time of its acquisition by Amazon, and has had a nearly flawless resume as an entrepreneur over the years. Every company he’s worked for has been acquired, and the smallest deal was $265 million. See our post “Alfred Lin Has The Midas Touch: The Man With $2 Billion In Acquisitions Under His Belt.”
Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh Reassures The Troops, Announces, Hints At New Secret Project – Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh sent an email to all Zappos employees today after the announcement of Alfred Lin’s resignation. He reassures everyone that he and Fred Mossler, the no. 3 executive, would not be leaving the company.
Bebo’s Awkward Email To Media Partners – AOL needs to offload Bebo fast. And tax experts say that the best financial result for AOL may be to simply abandon Bebo rather than sell it. All of that makes for a rather awkward situation with Bebo partners.
Is Steve Jobs Ignoring History, Or Trying To Rewrite It? – Very few people get the chance to make history. Even fewer get the chance to make it twice. Perhaps that is why it is so fascinating to watch Steve Jobs as he tries to usher in the era of mobile touch computing today, just as he ushered in the era of the personal computer three decades ago. But I wonder whether he is repeating the very same mistakes which relegated Macs to a niche market. Or did he learn from those mistakes so that Apple comes out on top this time?
Our Top YouTube Videos This Week – YouTube is truly a magical place, replete with singing children, dancing animals and — in short — some of the most random schtuff on the web. Every day, we wade through this digital jungle to find you the best viral vids, but sometimes there’s just too much good stuff to post.
How Mega Charity Events Harness the Power of Social Media – For the past couple of years, the social web has witnessed mega charity events like Twestival, 12 for 12k, Tweetsgiving and CrisisCamps. These events harness the long tail, taking thousands of participants across cities and continents to achieve amazing results. Twestival alone has raised more than $1.2 million.
Google Search Rankings Now Consider Site Speed – Back in November, we started hearing murmurs that Google was considering whether or not to factor site speed into its search ranking algorithm. In a blog post today, the search giant confirms it is now adding site speed to its list of criteria that could affect your Google ranking.
How Publishers Plan to Monetize iPad Content – The release of the iPad has the publishing world wondering if paid digital content will put the industry back in the black. While e-books are showing strong growth (as seen by the first day’s downloads), the water is murkier when it comes to newspapers and magazines. All three of the industries are facing formidable challenges in transitioning from print to digital mediums, but some publishers are already taking some interesting approaches.
Adobe Employee: Go Screw Yourself, Apple – In a recent blog post on The Flash Blog, Adobe Platform Evangelist Lee Brimelow goes on the offensive for seven paragraphs, ripping into Apple’s recent change to its iPhone Developer Program License Agreement that only allows for applications to be written in Objective-C, C, C++ or Javascript and executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine. In fact, the post was so strong that Adobe asked Brimelow to delete a segment.

Six ways Gmail revolutionized e-mail – CNN.com – Thursday marks the sixth birthday of Google's pioneering e-mail service: Gmail.
Our Choice: The Funniest April Fools Jokes – It’s that date again, folks. If you’ve seen an amazing new service or something that sounds too good to be true, it probably is — very few companies take April 1 seriously. Reports of April Fools jokes are pouring in; as we do every year, we’ll mention the ones that are either very funny or amazingly clever.
April Fools 2010 From Google & Others – Today is a worst/best day for journalists or bloggers, depending on your worldview: April Fools Day. Many technology companies come out and try to fool people with fake or funny news. Below is a collection of, what appears to be, April Fools Day hoaxes from Google and other search related companies for the day. I do hope to continue to update it throughout the day.
Q&A: Personal vs. Professional Branding in Social MEdia – Dan Schwabel is not only a personal branding expert, he’s someone I’ve come to know and respect over the years…and definitely someone I consider a friend. We recently sat down to discuss Engage and the resulting interaction culminated in a wonderful discussion that explored the state of professional and personal branding in the era of new media.
TweetDeck Taps TwitVid For Video Sharing, Replacing 12seconds – TweetDeck is switching its default video Tweeting platform today, from 12seconds to TwitVid. TwitVid.com will serve as the video service across all existing TweetDeck products, as well as all new products released by TweetDeck in 2010
Unvarnished: A Clean, Well-Lighted Place For Defamation – Today, Unvarnished makes its beta debut. It’s essentially Yelp for LinkedIn: any user can create an online profile for a professional and submit anonymous reviews. You can claim your profile, but unlike LinkedIn, you have to accept every post, warts and all. And once the profile is up there’s no taking it down.
YouTube Blog: Latest Changes to Video Page: New Playlist Experience, Integrated Comments & More – The video page overhaul that's underway now is one of the biggest redesigns in YouTube history. It's been a month since we offered a sneak peek of the new look and functionality, and in that time we've been gathering your feedback, looking at data, and tweaking elements to ensure that the page is as clean and useful as it can be.
YouTube Blog: The Video Page Gets a Makeover – From the Queen of England to the queen of your 'hood, from aspiring filmmakers to Hollywood studios, from high school graduation videos to citizen reports of revolutionary moments in Iran, it all has a home on YouTube. This creates a really big challenge: how do we design a site that reflects so many different users, experiences and videos? This is a question we've thought about a lot since we launched in 2005. The result of some of this thinking (some might say over-thinking) is a video page chock-full of features that reflect a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but can feel cluttered and a little overwhelming. We've spent a lot of time over the last 10 months asking ourselves some tough questions about this page and posing some of those questions to you in blog posts, roundtable discussions, one-on-one conversations with the community and even on forums like our Product Ideas for YouTube page
YouTube To Roll Out New Design For All Video Pages Today – A YouTube partner just forwarded us an e-mail he received from the Google company, stating that all videos will be transitioned to the newly designed page some time today.
Less Than One Third Of Tweets Come From The United States, Study Says – Paris-based Semiocast, which helps brands understand and interact with real-time Web services, has again done a study on Twitter usage. After finding that only 50% of tweets are in English, based on an analysis of 2.8 million tweets, the company has now looked at nearly five times as many Twitter messages in order to gain more insight on the increased international presence of the popular micro-sharing service.

Sprint Makes Your iPhone 4G [VIDEO] – The iPhone 4G (next generation iPhone) is yet to be released, but Sprint is cleverly advertising “4G speeds” on your iPhone thanks to its Sierra Wireless Overdrive 4G WiFi hotspot.
Yelp for Business: 4 Steps for Success – For local small businesses, Yelp (Yelp) isn’t just an option — it’s a necessity. People in urban centers use it to choose where to go to dinner, where to buy clothes, and where to be entertained. Users decide where and how to spend their money using Yelp, so if your business is local, you need to curate your Yelp page.
4 Ways Non-Profits Can Use Google Buzz – When a green field lies before you, so does opportunity. Some non-profits stand to gain from being part of the early Buzz adopter community. Whether a cause needs to further the dialogue with a tech-savvy crowd, or is attracted to the functionality of Gmail (Gmail) integration, Buzz does bring some new capabilities to bear.
Ben Folds Plays Chatroulette Live in Concert [VIDEO] – Singer-songwriter Ben Folds visited the random video chat site Chatroulette during a recent live concert in Charlotte, North Carolina, playing improv piano tunes about the people he was connected with.
New Twitter Phishing Attack: “You’re On Here?” [WARNING] – Twitter users are reporting a new attempt to extract their usernames and passwords — a Direct Message attack that asks “You’re on here?” with a link. Others report DMs linking to a site called “mhansenhome” with the message “’someone posted on their blog about you”.
Happy Birthday Twitter! – Sunday, March 21st (a few hours from now on the West Coast) marks Twitter’s 4th birthday — exactly four years since Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey sent his first Tweet and, along with Evan Williams and Biz Stone, started a phenomenon.
In choosing its battle names, the military must know its target audience – washingtonpost.com – Names are important, especially in war. Like a good advertising jingle, war names must be catchy and concise. But above all else, they have to sell — all sorts of things, to all sorts of people: inspiration to the troops, righteousness to Americans at home, partnership to allied countries, peace and promise to non-combatant civilians.
Social Media & Scott Monty @ Ford Motor Company – Online Marketing Blog – When you think of successful consumer brands in the social media space, names like Dell, Zappos and Pepsi come to mind. Another is Ford. Last year the Ford Fiesta movement generated a tremendous amount of awareness (and pre-orders) for a vehicle that wasn’t available to the public yet. (Great summary on Jeff Bullas’s blog) At the same time, it inspired a community to engage, create content and continue discussions about the Fiesta with over 7 million video views.
Social Media Optimization Tools – Online Marketing Blog – Plenty of bloggers are talking about the inevitable intersection of social media marketing and search engine optimization. Heck, we’ve been blogging about SMO since 2006! Keyword optimized social content and channels of promotion provide abundant signals to search engines for improved visibility on standard, social and real-time search.
Responsibilities of Community Managers » Techipedia | Tamar Weinberg – Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager, I get a varied response. But the response doesn’t vary enough. The response is usually something along the lines of “Wow! So you tweet and facebook for a living! Kewlz!” or “So do you blog on the interwebs all day, or sumthin?” Another favorite is “What’s that?” That last one might be the most honest of the three, since asking a Community Manager whether they tweet for a living is like asking a construction worker if they cat-call for a living, or a doctor if he asks people to say “ah!” for a living.
